Winchester Cultural Center

I know the stores always try and make us rush through fall for later winter holidays, but I’ve been trying to savor and enjoy the days getting shorter and crisper and cooler.

If you all can believe it, we’ve been getting down in the 60’s at night here in Vegas…feel the chill….

Before I start on today’s post I wanted to talk about the thing that has made the happiest this past week, Stranger Things 2! Not sure if there are any fellow fans here, but binge watching it was the perfect way to celebrate Halloween.

Our landscape today out west includes power lines and cell phone towers, and through her mixed media and photography she explores the authenticity of these items juxtaposed with mountains, sunsets, and the natural world.

The entrance to the live performance space

In addition to the Art Gallery, the WCC also has an awesome theatre space for live performances.

A few years ago my husband and I went to our first event here see a local band, Space Karate, perform Beck’s Song Reader live and the theatre was so much larger than I’d imagined seating just under 300 people!

On a sober related note–I love going to shows here because there is NO BAR for me to be tempted by.

Here in Vegas that is a rarity, and that’s why they are so high on my list of places to attend events.

Brochures for upcoming classes and events at WCC

As I mentioned earlier the WCC also has a ton of classes and events for all ages. You can check out the current flyer for their offerings here, and FYI they are closed on Sundays and Mondays.

On site they also have a skate parkfor older kids and a number of play areas for younger kiddos.

It’s been so fun to explore all of the different offerings the WCC has since we moved home to Vegas.

My husband has commented every time we’ve ventured over there how much he loves both the indoor and outdoor components of the center–and I’d have to agree.

Every time I’ve stopped by the staff has been welcoming and kind!

For any locals out there I hope you’ll take time to stop by, and if you’re an out of towner looking for something off the beaten path or happen to have young ones with you on the trip, this is the perfect place to spend an afternoon.

Hey there! Apologies it’s taken me so long to reply–but the Winchester is free! Classes and performances do carry fees, but just to enjoy the art gallery or walk the grounds is totally free of charge 🙂 Hope you enjoy your visit there!
